We're going to begin by looking at some verses in Deuteronomy 17 if you'd like to turn there.
We've been in a series on wisdom, and in the last two sermons we looked at Solomon. I want you to see how important it is not just to receive wisdom, but to apply it, and Solomon is the best example in Scripture. These verses will help us see that Solomon didn't apply the wisdom he received.
Also, these verses have some application to the presidential election season. The first presidential debate – and I use the word debate loosely – took place this past week. Personally, I didn't think it was easy to watch.
These verses reveal what God wanted for the king of His people. We don't have a king, but I think these verses help inform what we should look for in a national leader.

Memory Verse: Matt. 11:28
Day 1: Read Deut 17:14-17; Ps 20:7, 33:16; Prov 14:34, 11:28 Although we don't have a king, what application do you see from these verses for this presidential election season? Why did God single out horses, wives, and wealth? What might presidents put their trust in today that kings put their trust in in the Old Testament? How can any leaders, including fathers and husbands who serve as the heads of their home, ensure that they are trusting in God versus something else?
